Methodology for Calculating Incremental Heat Rate Curves ...

The Input-Output (I/O) curve is based on a third order polynomial equation: I/O = a + bx + cx2 + dx3. The Incremental Heat Rate curve is represented by the first derivative of the I/O equation: IHR = b + 2cx + 3dx2. Where a, b, c and d are known coefficients and x represents the output level of the Resource. ................
